It never rains but it pours. Just as bosses and boards had finally sorted out their worst accounting and compliance troubles, and beefed up their feeble corporate governance, a new problem threatens to earn them—especially in America—the sort of nasty headlines that inevitably lead to heads rolling in the executive suite: data insecurity. Left, until now, to low-level IT staff to put right, and seen as a concern only of data-rich industries such as banking, telecoms and air travel, information protection is now high on the boss’s agenda in businesses of every variety.
Such contented self-satisfaction may have been encouraged—though not justified—by the lack of legal penalty for data leakage. Until California recently passed a law, American firms did not have to tell anyone, even the victim, when data went astray. "Boards should pay as much attention to these IT operational risks as they do to other operational risks in the firm," argues George Westerman of the MIT Sloan School of Management. After all, boards have audit committees and compensation committees. It may be time for a data-protection committee, he argues. Bosses must ensure that there are effective data risk-management processes in place, be aware of their greatest vulnerabilities and promote a corporate culture that acknowledges data risks rather than hides them.
But the problem is often a lack of understanding by senior managers not just of technology but of business processes, says Thomas Parenty, author of Digital Defense: What You Should Know About Protecting Your Company’s Assets. "No one in the organisation bothers to look at the value of what data they hold, the consequences if something bad happens to it, and the appropriate mechanisms to prevent that from happening," he says.
So, what should a boss do? Accountancy firms and consultants are already spotting a chance to profit by conducting an independent security and privacy audit—and for many firms, their(no doubt)huge fee will probably be worth the money. The auditors inspect technology systems, data flow and the controls on access to data within an organisation and with its business partners.
A wise boss will also appoint a senior executive to be responsible for data security—and not just to have a convenient scapegoat in the event of a leak. Diana Glassman, a data protection expert, says that a useful first step would be for the boss to write to all employees reminding them of the risks and potential cost of data leakage, and asking them, before passing data to anyone else, to question whether that person truly needs, or is entitled to, it.
According to Diana Glassman, who is responsible for data protection?
选项
A、The boss.
B、The senior executive responsible for data security.
C、Everyone working in a company.
D、The government.
答案
C
解析
属推断题。本题是对最后一个段落的考查。文中提到公司老板有必要write to allemployees reminding them of the risks and potential cost of data leakage。因此我们可以得知,保护信息安全应当是全体员工的责任,而不仅仅是老板个人或负责信息安全的高级职员们的责任。故C为正确答案。
